For every two AB produced, the reaction requires three A
<span>Combustion means the elements or compound can be burned, but burning which is a chemical process requires oxygen; combustion reaction typically takes place in the presence of air. The combustion of methane is as follows:
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) -> CO2(g)+ 2 H2O(g) + energy
One mole of gaseous methane reacts with two oxygen molecules to form a carbon dioxide molecule, and two water molecules which is given off as water vapor. The reaction involves the release of heat.</span>
<u>Answer</u>
So this is the reaction that happens.
<span>C4H10 + O2 = CO2 + H2O </span>
<span>Balanced, it is </span>
<span>2C4H10 + 8O2 = 8CO2 + 10H2O </span>
<span>Given 1 kg or 1000 g of butane, use stoichiometry aka factor labeling aka conversions and mole ratios to get to grams of oxygen. </span>
<span>I'll do an example. Let's form water. Hydrogen is diatomic too. </span>
<span>2H2 + O2 = 2H2O </span>
<span>Given 1000 g of Hydrogen, I need to know how many grams of oxygen to use. To convert grams to moles,
I know that 1 mol of H2 equals 2.02 g. Then, for every mole of O2, there are 2 moles of H2. Then converting moles of O2 to grams, I know that one mole of it equals 32 grams. </span>
<span>[1000 g H2] x [1 mol H2/2.02 g H2] x [1 mol O2/2 mol H2] x [32 g O2/1 mol O2] </span>
<span>My answer would be 7.9 kg </span>
Answer/Explanation:
Methanol has a molecular weight (32.04 g/mol), low-boiling point and because of its low boiling point, methanol readily evaporates at room temperature.
Under these specified non-standard conditions, the partial pressure of methanol is lower than its vapor pressure and this explains the reason for the spontaneous evaporation exhibited by methanol.
